I would strongly recommend a DMM over a light tester.thank you and I will pick one up.
Only use a nickel if you don’t have a D key and only tape it or the D key in to keep it from falling out while you position the trailer (sometimes I have to shift from reverse to forward when backing my boat up a slight incline and into a ramp. There is also a magnetic version available online for about $15). These mechanical blocks should be removed before towing the trailer / boat down the road to your destination. If it’s not the trailer brakes will not engage as they should / when they should.Thanks! So i put a nickel in there to stop it from moving backwards?
The blue wire is the reverse lead, that’s supposed to be connected to the reverse solenoid in the surge break usually via the fifth pin. If it’s connected properly and the solenoid is working the brakes on the trailer will be disengaged electronically when the tow vehicle is in reverse, it also means that you don’t need to use the d key or a nickel when the electronics are working.Thanks. The adapter has a blue wire coming out of it which I'm guessing I need to connect to the ground?
